Wholesome Food Association

Info:  Local food grown with Nature in mind. The WFA local symbol scheme is a low-cost, 'grassroots' alternative to organic certification for people who are growing or producing food for sale in their local region. If you are producing food according to WFA principles (and are prepared to sign a pledge to that effect), and if you are selling it locally, if you are prepared to uphold the WFA's 'open gate' policy, it will cost you only £27 a year to affiliate with us and use our symbol.

(NB: The WFA is a non-profit organization. If you are not producing food yourself, but you simply like what we are doing and want to help us promote it, you might consider becoming one of our official WFA Supporters for £18 a year).

Women's Environmental Network

Info:  Is the only organisation in the UK working consistently for women and the environment. Their vision is of a world where women are aware of their ability to change the environment for the better and actively come together to do so. Their strategic aims are: empowering women to make positive environmental change; increasing awareness of women’s perspectives on environmental issues; influencing decision-making to achieve environmental justice for women.

WWOOF

Info:  WWOOF is a world wide network - It started in the UK in 1971 and has since become an international movement that is helping people share more sustainable ways of living.

WWOOF is an exchange - In return for volunteer help, WWOOF hosts offer food, accommodation and opportunities to learn about organic lifestyles.

WWOOF organisations link people who want to volunteer on organic farms or smallholdings with people who are looking for volunteer help.

WWOOF organisations publish lists of organic farms, smallholdings and gardeners that welcome volunteer help at certain times. The diversity of hosts available offers a large variety of tasks and experiences.

Volunteer helpers ("WWOOFers") choose the hosts that most interest them and make direct contact to arrange a stay. Volunteers usually live as part of the family.
